Prayers, Songs, Praises: Psalm 120

A Cry for Truth and Peace


A song of ascents.


120:1 In my distress I called to the Lord,

and he answered me.

“Lord, rescue me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.”

What will he give you,

and what will he do to you,
you deceitful tongue?

A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal!

What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

I have dwelt too long

with those who hate peace.

I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war.
